About this book

This volume is a response to the criticism that scholars create "bricks" of knowledge without integrating them into a coherent whole. The twelve bricks that make up this volume form a solid edifice of innovative views on literature and language based on the idea of 'engagement'. The first part focuses on literature and its ability to engage and express the engagement of the individual. The reader will find here a reflection on the relationship between man and God, the impossibility of cognition through symbols, and the multitude of "thoughts" expressed through language. In the second part, the key idea assumes a different dimension, as the analyses engage in defining socially relevant concepts of justice, rationality, power and freedom, and cases of social life where the involvement of creators of culture is indispensable. The third part illustrates the engagement of linguistics in the description of the reality constantly created by language. These varied perspectives allow for the diversity and multidimensionality of 'engagement' to be revealed.
